RIDING A FYRA V250 IN 2020! Trenitalia Frecciargento ETR.700 Business Class Review (Milan to Ancona)

Hello, and welcome back to another train trip report on the channel. For this week's video, I am trying out the infamous Fyra V250, now in service with Trenitalia as the Frecciargento 700 (classified as ETR.700). This journey begins at Milano Centrale, a truly grand construction, and in my opinion a tourist attraction in its own right. I am travelling on one of the Fyra V250 sets, which first operated for a few months in Belgium and The Netherlands on the SNCB/NS joint 'Fyra' high-speed operation from Amsterdam to Breda and Brussels. Unfortunately, these trains lasted only 39 days in full service, quickly being withdrawn due to a serious amount of major defects and problems (detailed in this document I found online: http://media.rtl.nl/media/financien/r.... After a long legal battle, the sets were returned to Italy, and in 2017 were bought by Trenitalia, who had them heavily overhauled and refurbished. In 2019, the fleet re-entered service at last, on Frecciargento (silver-arrow) services on the Adriatic Railway route running Milano-Bologna-Rimini-Ancona-Bari-Lecce. The first stretch of the route to Palma is high-speed, allowing the trains to stretch their legs up to 155mph (250km/h), and afterwards on classic routes at up to 125mph (200km/h). After Rimini, the route skirts the titular Adriatic Sea, allowing sublime views of the coast and resorts. It's a spectacular journey, on what in my opinion is a now spectacular train.
